% disklabel -e wd1

In the editor (vi by default),

1) Set new size of a: to sum of old size of a: and old size of b:
   (32M).
2) Set type of b: to "unused".
3) Set size of b: to zero.
4) Save & quit (:wq)

Then, all he needs to do is newfs /dev/rwd1a, and update /etc/fstab:

/dev/wd1a	/home	rw	1 2

If he has any more questions, tell him to RTFM.
